Benji is a horrible coach who not only lacks the understanding of play calling but also lacks the understanding of respect. The fact he never saw playing time after high school but portrays himself as a star College QB is laughable. Be prepared for another 10 year skid.

I heard the same thing about your student section at the Jefferson-Commerce game this season, as well as at a baseball game last spring. The students should be ashamed for how they talked. I don't recall Commerce student sections acting like that.

Legalismisasin: Best post yet. I am a JC parent and what I saw from the Jefferson student body was very poor. I know our student body is not perfect but the chants being done by Jefferson-- unacceptable and not to mention the damage that they did to the front of the stadium by jumping on the bars during the game. It really showed poor taste when they proceeded to boo their own marching band, which may be small compared to JC, but performed a great show. Worst part of it was, all these boys are from Jackson County with a good bit of the kids at Jefferson living out side of the city. This means their actions were a direct reflection of our county kids. The administration at Jefferson should be embaressed as well.

As for Anonymous, Benji is a great coach and a great man. So are the rest of the coaches. They work hard and have been working hard all summer with little to no time of their own. These boys have busted their rump as well with most of them only having 1 week off and that was a mandatory dead week. Bottom line, we were out played and guess what-- it happens. So our boys and our coaches prepare for the next game. Additionally, you want to post your comments, but I bet you are someone who gives NO time to the team to help build the program.

Ex Jc Fan: I take offense at the comment Kirk boys. I had a boy that was part of that group and I am glad that my son has the opportunity to know Benji. Under Kirk, we were bad but we had a bad rep. for poor attitude. Under Kirk I have seen boys that were headed down the wrong road as thugs, But under Benji, they became good men.

Whaddoyaknow: No question about domination, but Jefferson was good. Both sides have some keeping in time marching issues and Jackson is NOT ready for competition-- YET. From my point of view, JC band always rocks, but it did look a bit messy in spots. You had many that did not look like they knew what they were doing and the colorguard needs a ton of work-- as normal. Your directors Mr. Golding and Mr. Willis are doing a great job and I am sure they will get these things fixed. It is about time to see MORE come from the band. I do however, like the band playing Amazing grace and the boys in front of them on their knees. Seems like two programs are coming together nicely. Kudos to Benji and Mr. Golding for working on these issues between band and football. Its about time.

The Jefferson band has come a long way in a really short amount of time. None of the students remember, but five or six years ago, that band usually only had about 25 people in it. Now they're winning their class at every competition they go to.

Both bands were excellent musically, but more importantly were some of the only good student ambassadors for their schools present last Friday night. Kudos to both groups!
